Hundreds of people in Cachi's main square, among them artists
participating in an art fair and were creating sculptures and
paintings on site, saw a large unidentified flying object (UFO)
that crossed the skies over Cachi on Thursday night.

"It was truly impressive. I'd heard people say that this
phenomenon was recurrent in the region, but I never thought I'd
have the privilege to see such a sharp, clear and disturbing
sighting, since I'm unable to find a logical explanation for the
phenomenon I've just seen with my own eyes," said Javier
Rodriguez, the recently appointed director of FM San Jose.

Holding a degree in communication arts and national
broadcasting, Rodriguez, 29, stated that "the time was
approximately 19:30 hours and we were chatting in the town
square with the host of one of the station's programs--Antonio
Zuleta--who has become internationally famous due to his UFO
films in the area."

"And we just happened to be discussing the subejct when an
artisan standing under the shelter of the local museum, some
meters away from us, told us he'd seen something, raising his
index finger skyward," he says.

"It ws a fantastic vision: a perfect disk of bright luminous
intensity, moving as it issued forth red flashes from North to
Southeast at a prodigious speed, changing directions in a
startling manner, gyrating at impossible angles for any vehicle
known to us," explained the expert.

"From our position," Rodriguez added, "we can say that it had
the size of a dessert plate. In other words, some 50 cm across,
which makes me dismiss the possibility that it was a satellite,
which are as small as a star and follow a fixed trajectory and
constant spped. I cannot say, obviously, that it was a
spacecraft from another world or from our own, but I can tell
you that it was a phenomenon as inexplicable as it was
interesting."

On the other hand, Antonio Zuleta, consulted by El Tribuno,
said: "there were so many witnesses to the event that the debate
about alien civilizations was a subject of lengthy discussions
at coffeehouses, restaurants and other establishments in town,
which is now filled with tourists, many hoping to have their own
sighting."

Fortunately, it occurred at peak hours on an afternoon with a
clear sky, as is customary [in Cachi]," he emphasized.
